OBSERVATIONS were begun on November 15 at 17h. 57m. and continued until daylight rendered further watching useless. In the first five and a half minutes twenty meteors appeared, all but two of which were Leonids, so that the hourly rate of the latter was 200. This period seems to have been about the time of maximum, judging from the results of other observers. Shooting stars now began to diminish in frequency, as the sky was brightening as day approached, but in the half hour comprised between 17h. 57m. and 18h. 35m. (deducting time spent in recording) thirty-six were seen, thirty-four being Leonids. Beyond 18h. 35m. the twilight was too strong to expect to detect meteors, and though the look-out was continued until 18h. 57m. no more appeared.
